Just to say sorry that it took a bit to resume work on this I’ll start with qld after a bad run of 75 and 96 almost wiping out labor the swing wasn’t bad but the result had some shocks the interest is on a few seats the conservatives barely gained Petrie and capricornia but how the result left many surprises the Brisbane area had labor do very unusually well for this kind of election
Holding 5 including the first opposition labor member for moreton the return an (since rereturn of labor in Griffith) other results include Wayne swan’s holding on joined by a staff member in rankin which remains qld’s only pure labor seat. Petrie was the only one who fell with the member ending up in state parliament. Brisbane was the libs surprise hold
While bonner looks an issue for 2016 bowman’ inflated margin went out. On the Gold Coast peter Beattie failed in forde while all three others where well safe for the libs. Sunshine Coast proved to be a interesting contest the youngest parliamentarian to win reelection Wyatt Roy while fisher proved a record in that peter slipper fell to a record low vote even Craig Thomson didn’t do that badly rumors that brough’s seat swap would fail at the end due to greens preferences palmer fell short also palmer won the seat of fairfax the closest contest of the election but won one of only two lib seats lost in the house. Labor held Blair in the near Brisbane seats while Scott bullchol was the first reelected member for wright which is no supposed deaputy pm warren truss had a swing against him. Rural wise capricornia fell just for labor to the nats Kennedy had the shock of katter’s drop to very lucky in almost losing to the nats
The senate proved easier to guess lnp succeed Boyce and Boswell labor lost their third seat won in 07. Palmer won the interesting spot ahead of katter’s candidate.
